44. I am so sick and tired of trying to explain this to Reagan lovers.

Because you seemed to be speaking exactly my thoughts, I could feel the pressure building in my chest while reading your post. Though I can logically understand the reasoning when our President and others invoke that dastardly name, it still turns my stomach every time it happens. I find great satisfaction in watching people like Thom Hartman demolish the Reagan mythology. If justice ever prevails, history will surely reveal that despicable man for what he truly was.

Thank you
